those groups tend to be made up of control freak harpies and busy bodies of the worst kind. Children have become the last refuge of the fascist.
I will predict that if Maine passes such a stupid law (and unlike a federal requirement, a state law is far less likely to be struck down as unconstitutional) I will state that within 5 years those twits pushing this law will demand more "reasonable" controls when their current demands do NOTHING to decrease crime in a relatively crime free state
I can't remember which state it was, Connecticut maybe, where they blamed guns on violence and passed a stringent gun control scheme. It also coincided with major war on a gang violence due to a child being shot. And of course the gang was shut down quickly. And crime rates dropped...specifically murder. Sigh.
